It felt never ending.

The workout today was 1200m times 5 with rest interval 3 minutes and the pace of below 2 minutes for each 400m. The first 2 sets i managed to do below 6 minutes. However, the last 3 sets, all the timings were above 6 minutes. The slowest was the third set. I felt that I was just dragging my legs when I run, my knees hurt, my thighs were aching, I was like sitting down when running. I just didnt feel the joy while running today. Why? I tried to focus on God and felt His presence, but it only lasted for the first 2 sets and the first rounds of the subsequent sets. Also, even during warm up and warm down, the runs felt like it was never ending. This was the first time I ever felt that I was dragging myself when I was doing warm up and warm down. I have never felt like this before. What does this imply? Warm down was only 3 rounds and I felt that it was never ending already. How come? Not forgetting, I do feel stress when Im doing workout too. I know i need to have a strong mental, especially for workouts like today. Honestly, I did try to tell myself and psycho myself. But, somehow, my legs dont open, and the stride is so small too. I feel so tired today too. When I was doing workout, I was like 'Help' because I really could not take it already. To be honest, I was already on the verge of giving up for the third set. Jac was the one who keep telling me that I can. And, shuyuan kept encouraging me at the side when i ran pass. It was really encouraging, hence, I persevered through and ran finish. I hope it is not a downfall for me now. I promise I will continue to work hard for the rest of the trainings and take good care of myself. I guess today was a wake-up call for me. I think I prolly should really continue to train hard and buck up, especially since now its the holidays, all the more i should focus well. I believe I can do this.

'You can do all things through Him who gives you strength.'
Philippians 4:13
(This is one of my favourite verses)
